By Ryan Bothmann

RYAN BOTHMANN: THIS IS YOUR NCC NEWSBRIEF. IT’S JUNE 21ST. I’M RYAN BOTHMANN. THE FIRST SURVEYS ARE IN ON HOW THE COMMUNITY WANTS THE SYRACUSE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT TO SPEND 109 MILLION DOLLARS OF FEDERAL FUNDING. MARY HABIB, DIRECTOR OF FINANCES FOR THE DISTRICT, SAYS THIS MONEY WILL BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

MARY HABIB: With the new stimulus money and the New York state budget that came in, we actually have more money than the district has seen ever. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the district.

BOTHMANN: RECORDS GATHERED FROM THE CITY OF SYRACUSE SHOW THAT PARKING BOOTS ARE PUT ON CARS AROUND THE SYRACUSE CAMPUS TWICE AS FREQUENTLY AS ANY OTHER PART OF THE CITY. SYRACUSE POLICE DEPUTY CHIEF, RICHARD SCHOFF, DISCUSSED WHY THAT MIGHT BE.

RICHARD SCHOFF: So tickets get fed into the system and then they have the license plate readers that hits on people that meet the violation standards.

BOTHMANN: TODAY, CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON CLINTON STREET. THIS IS PART OF A PROJECT THAT BY 2022 WILL LEAVE DOWNTOWN WITH NEW STREETS, CURBS, AND SIDEWALKS. YOU CAN FIND FULL NEWS STORIES ON OUR WEBSITE AND FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AT N-C-C NEWS ONLINE. UNTIL TUESDAY, THIS IS YOUR NCC NEWSBRIEF.
